DETAQHABLE CHAIR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 622,227, dated April 4, 1899. Application filed November 4,1898. Serial No. 695,490. (No model.)

according to which the chair legs' and the,

posts of the back can be detached from the seat by unscrewing the same.

The back is preferably composed of several parts, which are detachabl'y connected together and therefore easily replaceable, while detachable cross bars or pieces serve for strengthening the chair-legs.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,-

which showa chair made in accordance with this invention, Figure 1 is a front elevation.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the chair. 3 to 7 show constructive details.

The posts a of the back are provided with Figs.

long screw-pegs a, which are screwed into threaded bores of the seat I) and pass with their lower ends through the seat, Figs. 1 and 2. The back chair-legs c, Fig. 5, are screwed onto the lower ends of the pegs 0., whereas the fore legs d are provided with screw-pegs d, Fig. 4, which are screwed into bores of the seat b. The chair-legs o and d have at their lower ends screw-pegs 0 01 on which the eyes f of an H-shaped stay f are slid, Figs. 2 and 3, and then the feet g screwed thereto. The chair-legs are thus made secure and durable.

The posts a are provided at their upper ends with bores which are adapted to receive the screw-legs h of knobs 71., Figs. 1, 2, and 6. On the posts a is placed a cross-stay i, Figs.

land 7, through whose eyes 1" the legs of the knobs h are inserted. The posts a are also I connected by astay k, which is preferably insorted by means of its smooth ends into bores of the posts. Between the staysi and k vertical stays 1 may be arranged, engaging with their smooth ends in bores of the i and 7c.

The above-described construction of the detachable chair has the important advantage that the various parts, in the event of a breakage, can be easily replaced by similar ones, since there are no connections made by glue or by means of bolts to .be tightened by nuts or the like. In consequence of the parts of such chairs being readily replaced the form or style of the chair may also be easily varied.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention, I declare that what I claim, and wish to secure be Letters Patent, is

In combination,the chair-bottom having the screw-pegs projecting above and below the same, the back composed of the posts a engaging the pegs, the cross-piece i extending between the posts and having the eyes i, the knobs h having the screw-studs h passing through the eyes into the posts the legs 0 engaging the screw-pegs, the legs (1 the crossstays having the eyes fitting screw-studs on the lower ends of the legs and the feet 9 screwed onto the studs to hold the eyes with the stays in place, substantially as described. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
